I just noticed today that my surface cleaner has stopped spinning. I saw that it was leaving streaks as I was cleaning some concrete. When I turned it over thats when I saw that it had stopped spinning. Other than the swivel what could be the problem

The X-Jet debate
bulletproof replied to PressurePros's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
What I'm confused about with downstreaming as opposed to x-jetting is which gives you the stronger mix. I would think that it would be downstreaming because unlike x-jetting you don't have to dilute the mix in the container and then further dilute it at the tip. Besides that you're now adding 4gal 10% as opposed to the 1.5 or 2 with the x-jet. So how is it that an x-jet gives you a stronger mix -
The X-Jet debate
bulletproof replied to PressurePros's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Ok I just bought my downstreamer and I'm not sure how and where I install it.Correct me if I'm wrong. I am not using a hose reel so I qc it out from the unloader and then plug my hp hose into the other end. -
How much do you put in your downstreaming mix, I have been wondering the same thing. How much of each ingredient do you mix to a five when downstreaming.

Are you saying that they are the same product just with different labeling

Problems today
bulletproof replied to Don M.'s question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
RPetry, The DeckBrite that Don is talking about is the version/brand of oxalic acid sold by Stephen Rowlette. Don ,I believe that you know: it is sold in 2lb bags and mixed that much to a five. Based on the mix amounts you have said, I'm thinking that your mix may have been just a little weak -

Streak Free Window Cleaner.... yeah right!
bulletproof replied to Mike's topic in Window & Gutter Cleaning
I do all residential windows by hand. If they're real dusty I brush them, then wipe with a damp microfibre cloth scrape with a 5in ettore scraper if necessary, then polish with a dry one. Glass Gleam 4 is my window soap of choice. I'm looking for a good spray on/off cleaner for screens though -

I too have always had the entrepreneural spirit. I'm a Police Officer by occupation, and love it, but always yearned to be my own boss. I found out early on that the force promises you a job but forward mobility is not guaranteed,so I decided to start a business. I've done it all, mobile electronics, carpentry, tents and party supplies,personal fitness training, landscaping. I just never liked doing any of those things. Then I remembered that while I was a foot patrol officer I used to see a guy cleaning shop windows. I figured that it would be a good thing to do residentially. I did jobs for family, friends and co-workers during the christmas season from Nov-Dec they were all pleased. Most of the time while on site I would be asked if I clean boxing (soffits and fascia to you guys) Not being one to pass up on money I said yes. Believe it or not I didn't even know at the time that I could clean them with a pressure washer. I used to do them all by hand. The tools of my trade were a bucket, ladders, cloths, joy and water and lots of newspapers. I fell in love with the fact that I could go to a house with my brother in the morning and be finished by mid afternoon. I did this for the two months and knew that this is what I had been looking for. No one else was doing it and I made good money. A friend of mine had started a car wash and bought a small pw. I saw him on a job one day and thats when I figured I could use one for what I was doing. I went out and bought my monster 1500 psi 2.5 gpm washer. The guy that sold it to me upselled a gallon of no name house wash. That Christmas I was the man. Less time on jobs and more of them I still used to go over the fascia's by hand because they weren't coming as clean with the pw. The following year I researched on the internet found this and Steve Rowlette's board used the search feature and asked lots of questions. I learned alot. October of 2003 I had a 4 gpm unit, real chems and equipment, new knowledge, uniforms the whole nine. I now do this part time year round and want to expand to commercial clients next year. Thanks to you guys and these boards.

Best additive or method to prevent window streaking?
bulletproof replied to Lou Beach's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Which when translated means 4-8 ounces -
In my reading, whenever I read about chemicals I see things like 5 to 1 ratio or 8 to 1 etc. Is there a chart of some sort that I can get in order to find out what the real world equivilants to these ratios are(i.e cups, pints gallons etc..) If not then how do I know what size measurements I would be using when mixing my chemicals

bulletproof replied to sturgisjr's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
www.topoftheline.com I bought two stainless steel 5 gal compressed air sprayers from them. I fill it 3/4 of the way with whatever chem I'm using then pressurize. It sprays until it runs out of chem much.Much less work than a pump up
